Papillon BBC2 10.30

HAVING READ THE BOOK WELL BEFORE THE FILM CAME OUT,
I was very disapointed with the film.
However,Hoffman and Newman were superb in the film,but many parts of the original book were OTT,compaired to the film, which is a real shame .

NO NEED TO SHOUT,
I have not read the book maybee I should,
in what way is the book OTT (over the top?) compared to the film.

Not seen this version, but the one with McQueen in was ace, especially his Steptoe impersonation towards the end.

Superb film, not seen it for about 10 years. Hoffman is tremendous (obviously McQueen too).
Might give it a look later.

Remember my dad putting this film on the tv when i was a young lad and i thought here go this is gonna be the usual shite that he watches. Turns out its still one of the best films i ever seen.
